Old Town Axe Island Hotels

"What an amazing vacation. The Cranes Nest is exactly as advertised. Clean, all your basic amenties, Comfy beds and breaktaking views. Cedar Key is an amazing town and we will be back. "

"Everything was nicely down and well supplied. "

"Had a wonderful stay! Host was right next door and was very welcoming and supportive throughout our visit- even providing a place to clean our fish and an ice machine! Location can’t be beat, dock was perfect for our fan boat, and the fire pit is a great feature for evening s’mores! We hope to be back again!"

"Our family enjoyed this house on the water. Cedar Key is a very laid back, no worries town. We had everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving trip memorable. Misty and Chad are excellent hosts. They were available when we had questions. Everything was as described. Being able to sit on the front porch in the morning and watching the sunrise over the water, then sunsets on the dock. Ah….close enough for an easy walk or golf cart ride into town. The beds were so comfortable. Plenty of towels, sheets and blankets. Thankfully, as we had a cold front! We would stay here again. It was everything we needed. Also, pet friendly. When we go to Cedar Key, we go for the nature of the west coast and this house met our needs. "

"Beautiful views, easy access to all the local hotspots, loved being able to walk the beach under the house when tides were low "

"Extremely nice! One of the best rentals on the island. The great-room with the well-furnished kitchen, dining, and living area opened to a wonderful deck overlooking the bay. This house is new, clean, and fabulous for hosting a family gathering!"

"First off, I would like to say this property was absolutely stunning. We’re not the “big home” type when we travel — we enjoy places that are simple, rustic, country and personal — and this stay was more than we ever imagined.The 2.5-hour drive from Kissimmee was peaceful, filled with tree-lined roads and quiet stretches. Upon arrival to Cedar Key, we found a small town that feels larger than life. The peace, the scenery, and the serenity were more than we could have hoped for.From the outside, the home looked like a cozy getaway surrounded by plants, mini gardens, and a charming tea area with a small fountain. At the top of the stairs were two wooden rocking chairs, perfect for morning coffee. Once you open the door, you’re welcomed into a beautiful wooden cabin — warm, personal, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was heavenly, and the sofa and pull-out bed were just as inviting. The train-themed décor, complete with lantern-style lighting, added so much charm. There was even a personal table for two.The walk from the cabin to the beaches was under two minutes. We explored the entire town in less than an hour, stopping for coffee, seafood, and even visiting the local library and museum. You truly don’t need a car unless you plan to leave the island.The hosts were caring, responsive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. This was a weekend getaway we will never forget. We are certain we’ll be back in the future and will gladly recommend this property"

"The home was clean and spacious. Great for every fishing need we had. "

"We enjoyed our stay. The river is really the star of the show as Brian stated. It was very peaceful. I hope to return again soon!"
